Car and Bike Selling Glitches Still Work in GTA Online After Patch 1.04

Just when Rockstar thought they patched the vehicle selling glitches in GTA Online, some resourceful people prove them wrong and find other ways to get millions of dollars with modified versions of the old glitches.

Loool. No Microtransactions here tonight!

I wouldn't risk it, because it seems like rockstar is out to ban people who uses these glitches and exploits.

SNACK_SHARK_TROLL3825d ago (Edited 3825d ago )

Ha ha Well for the disagrees and @holdmyown83, I'm simply going off the link that was on N4G the other day. So yeah If I was ya'll, I wouldn't risk it at the moment, at least not on the Xbox version, if you own that version. http://gamingbolt.com/repor...

Just as an fyi, that was a baseless rumor from a GTAForums post with no proof whatsoever. It was just a "hey a friend of mine was banned for glitching" post. R* may end up doing the cheaters pool thing, but even that isn't really confirmed yet aside from a R* Support post that was deleted.

My question is, who in the blue hell has the time to figure this shit out? This is about the most convoluted process I've ever seen before. Who just sits there all day trying out all this wacky stuff until something works?

Killjoy30003825d ago

I think the same exact thing about every glitch. I'm sure there are many accidental findings, but the glitch seekers have no lives. Just play your games.

Lionsguard3825d ago

What do you think game testers do? They're not paid to play a game to gauge how engaging the story is. They sit down and they have to try and break the game somehow and once they do, they have to try and replicate the problem and then write up a step by step on how to do it in order for the devs to fix it. People are actually paid to figure out convoluted ways to exploit games. Rockstar needs to hire better ones.

-EvoAnubis-3825d ago

I know what game testers do - I used to be one. I can understand if breaking the game is literally your job, but that doesn't apply here.

Lionsguard3824d ago

You don't think there's ex-game testers out there who have the skills to find these exploits? How else do you think they find them? Leprechauns? Game Genies?

holdmyown833825d ago

They are not banning anybody!!!

Saints943825d ago

Duh.

I imagined this was the face of the man who typed this down.

Thar she blows! That be a whale!! Let's talk to them mateys!

phoenixwing22d ago

@disagrees
Didn't have a good rebuttal did you? We all know the select players are whales who waste thousands or hundreds of thousands on the games currency. You expect them to make the same kinds of demands as everyone else? Keep dreaming.

Inverno22d ago

Well that and most likely streamers who have helped harpoon all those whales lolz.

Why is this news? Is this supposed to be some sort of heads up to those involved?

Kombatologist29d ago

Why shouldn't this be news? If you play the game at all, you'd know this has been a problem for a while. Tell me, how is it fair for legit low-level players to be grieved by players using modded accounts with disposable amounts of cash? It's about time Rockstar did something about these losers.

BISHOP-BRASIL29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Not that I really played it in forever, but the way I used to roll on online once I realize I had no interest in actually doing heists and micromanaging property and shit, the moment someone decided to pick a fight I'd just leave towards north, jump the fence of the army base, steal a jet and grief away... Pro tip: they can't really make you pay for other players cars when you have not one single penny to your name.

EDIT: Got carried away... Anyway, my point was, you can grief without money, this is not stopping it.

Kombatologist28d ago

@BISHOP-BRASIL

I get what you're trying to say, but it's a false equivalence. Anyone could jump the fence and grab a jet back in the day. The dynamic changed once R* started introducing militarized vehicles, such as flying motorcycles with homing rockets, a stealth helicopter, and most recently, a stealth jet. There's so many militarized vehicles now, you really have to keep up with the latest and greatest in order to defend yourself from that shit, which is really expensive to do. Sure, you could make the argument that Shark Cards give players the same advantage as a modded account. The thing is, they don't. Not even close. A modded account can have ANY amount of money, as well as ANY weapon and/or vehicle, even ones that aren't available in the game yet (as long as they're in the datafiles). Some of them even have glitched characters with invisible limbs/weapons. This is an unfair advantage to anyone who plays legitimately and nobody should have to risk getting their accounts permanently banned from stooping to the same level just to compete. Furthermore, making money is really easy to do now. Which begs the question: Why buy a modded account in the first place? I think the answer is obvious.

So this is news because a Twitter guy says so :)
